I apologise if my comment seemed harsh, it was intended as advice and a good economic strategy for future financial security.
I try very hard to not engage in derogatory exchanges on Internet forums because there is no benefit to either party.
It would be nice to see some of the younger members, many years from now when I have been under the ground for decades say.

Mech: YES you have great ideals and advise, and NO I never took it that in a bad way. I merely wanted to explain where I was coming from, and in fact I do agree that you had some good advise. It's just that I can barely fix a broken piece of plastic. I may be able to troubleshoot and repair the worst hardware or software problem on a Windows based p.c.- BUT, I am lucky to turn a screwdriver in the right direction. hahah - I just had real bad luck with used cars and it always ended up costing me more in repairs and lost work time that anything else.
I'm sure if I was better at working on cars your advise would of been a great way of going for me. But I live in a fairly remote area near a National Park, and in order to live here most people have to have pretty reliable transportation because of the increased amount of driving most people have here... It's part of the price to live in such a breath-taken National Park.
I'm sorry you thought I was being defensive with YOU, because I understand exactly what you are saying, I was just trying to explain why it's not a good plan for me giving my situation.
So, everything is "cool"
